Write a song about California he said to me before I left but I, think I'll write a song about him instead. (Verse 1) AM7 Now, I'm sitting up on Hollywood Hill E9 Eb9 Can't think of a single thing to sing about this place, maybe I never will D9 AM7 F#9 but I'm thinkin' bout you still. AM7 Walking down Sunset Boulevard E9 Eb9 Never thought writing a song about some place could be this hard D9 AM7 F#9 Bm7 E9 With you I don't know where to start. (Chorus) DM7 Here's to the boy AM7 who keeps me up all night, DM7 who sings exactly right, AM7 and never lets me know. DM7 Here's to the boy, C#dim the one with the bright eyes, B9 who makes me realize, F7 E7 I got a long long way to go to California.
